Photo by Brendan Hoffman hoffmanbrendan / An Indian Army soldier observes the crowds assembling to watch the daily "wagah" ceremony at the border with Pakistan. At sunset, the two countries stage an elaborate flag-lowering event at this crossing in Punjab, to mark the closing of the border for the day—one of very few points at which it is possible to cross on foot between the rival countries. Large crowds gather to watch the theatrics, cheering in a rowdy display of patriotism. Follow me hoffmanbrendan for more human stories from around the world.
